A Day to Remember
Since the beginning, our commitment to breathe life into unparalleled, authentic experiences has been at the forefront of our endeavors. In an ever-increasing digital world marked by hands-off interaction and impersonal relationships, we searched for a unique avenue to bridge the gap between these experiences and our customers, one that could stand as a physical expression of our mission to be Built Better®. We found it in the Film Festival.
A celebration intertwining storytelling, music, artistry, and conservation, the Film Festival features performances from country music icons, followed by the exclusive premiere of immersive short films showcasing stories within the waterfowl community. Attendees can indulge in shopping at vendor booths, participate in the live auction, and try their luck in drawings.
Guardians of the Flyway
We don't just chase the migration - we protect it. Because the skies belong to more than us, and the marshes hold stories yet to be told.
In an effort to safeguard waterfowl and the environments they call home, all of the proceeds generated from Film Festival are donated to conservation groups and incentive programs so that future generations can feel what we feel now: the optimism of full skies and the deep-rooted promise of another day afield.
